I Got Lost

 

Yesterday I went sightseeing. Or if I want to be completely honest, I got lost in the city. Bad.

Sári asked me, whether I wanna meet her after her class, and I thought ‘hell why not?’ After she left for school, I started writing my blog, doing my morning routine, when suddenly it turned out it’s not morning anymore and I had to get going immediately! Sári’s class was 1 hour and 15 minutes on foot, and I had only 45 minutes before her class was over! It was pretty clear I wouldn’t make it on foot, so I started looking for options – yeah, I’ve decided I should avoid using any sort of unnecessary energy if that makes sense. I’ve been thinking about trying the city’s city bikes for a long time, and I figured I could make up 30 minutes on bike no problem. Soo, I downloaded the official app from my Appstore, it had one star out of five, great start – I was thinking. And when it finally got downloaded, I started to understand why… It asked for my personal details, which I gave, but it didn’t want to accept my Hungarian phone number and address. I could change the address to our apartment address her, but there was nothing I could do about my phone number… After messing around for 10ish minutes I lost the battle against technology, queued East Bound and Down, and headed out East of our front door down the stairs. Once I walked to that place previously, but this time I chose a new route. A more logical and shorter route – I don’t know why I took a longer route before, but – I was glad I found an unknown path. Unknown to me, apparently buncha people and cars already knew about that road! Anyways, I started walking as quickly as I could to make up my original 30 minutes delay and the additional 10 minutes thanks to the city bike app issue. The road I took was a short cut that ended up joining the main road which had many bus and tram stops. By the time I got to the main road I got only 10 minutes left till Sári’s class was over, so I took the first tram that was headed in the correct direction. First it went well, I even wrote Sári a message that I’ll be there, and at the moment I locked my phone I realized nothing looks familiar anymore. While I was writing the tram took a turn that I did not see. I got off at the first stop, but I knew there was no way I would make it on time… So, I called Sári, told her what happened, and I made sure she knew it was her fault – obviously. Haha I’m just kidding. But I did ask her to meet me on the main road where I took the wrong tram, so we could go home together. What a great sorry, eh?

It was actually really surprising how shocked I was when I got if that tram having no idea where I was. And it happened in a quarter of a second! I kinda panicked! What the hell?! I’ve never panicked before just because I got lost! Thinking back now, I probably panicked because I wanted to get to Sara as quickly as possible and didn’t want to make her wait. That’s no excuse to panic, but now I know I have this issue I can work on it. I mean that’s what life is all about right? Finding your weak points and overcoming them.

So, this silly story is it for today, I hope at least you enjoyed it,
I hope you are well and see you tomorrow!

Last Day in Warsaw

Image
  Our last day in Warsaw… When we got up the whole apartment was basically completely empty. Nothing was left, but a few backpacks, the food in the fridge, and the clothes we were about to put on. It was really sad. To start the morning exciting, and cheer ourselves up a bit we started our day in Costa Café or the Nero café — I honestly have no idea — where instead of coffee we drank chai latte. Sari did made me chai latte before, but since we don’t have either a printer nor the balls to print money we used cheep coffee and cheep chai thingy, which meant I was almost drinking something completely different. I absolutely loved the chai latte they gave me, so did Sari. Bummer, I wish I knew about this earlier. After our coffee break we packed everything and headed for the last shopping, we bought the little things that were absolutely needed for our successful trip home: bread, doughnuts, and the missing kinda beers. It was a successful trip. Then we drove home, prepared our meals fo...

Eastern Poland

  Yesterday we broke the record of the number policeman we have met ever in a day. They were everywhere. However before getting in to that we started our day in Bialystok. Where it was -10°C in the morning! I got us some breakfast then till Sari packed our staff I went to get our car. While I was walking to it I checked all the cars on the street how icy were they trying to assume how thick ice cover did my car grow overnight. Luckily the car was only covered with some snowish loose staff that was easy to get rid off with a broom. However in the inside everything was frozen. The motor didn’t even start for the first time, then when it finally started it sounded like when you didn’t put the dishes properly in the washing machine and everything falls out, that was the exact same noise my motor was sounding. It was definitely not pleasant.  The temperature had risen to -8°C by the time we got to our first stop. It was the Church of Trezescinka: a beautiful huge wooden church with...

Sunday Market

  Yesterday we went to the Sunday Market. Or actually we went to a Sunday market – I suppose there are several Sunday markets all over Warsaw. The one we went to is called Gielda Staroci na Kole. Although it wasn’t as big as the Sunday market in Pécs, I still wouldn’t call it small. As we saw they mostly sell porcelains, old coins, tools, and similar useful goods. Visiting this market was quite an experience! The market itself takes place at a closed garden, but the garden seems to be not big enough for all the sellers, some of them sell their staff on the street right next to the market! First, we didn’t even know what’s up with that place. We didn’t see the conception. It took some time and some walking for us to comprehend what’s going on. I might’ve told you earlier, my plan was to buy a bike, so I could ride it to the uni, so one of the reasons we went to the market to see if they have bikes, if they have how much they cost, and what they look like. Well unfortunately they ...
